I suppose, then, the only way backlighting would be possible is if E-Ink integrated luminous material in the display itself, somehow.

And here I thought I had something... *shrug*


unless...

bugger. that wouldnt work either. Thanks again.
Actually, you have an idea, but you'd be better off working on something similar to a LightWedge.

IOW, Opaque is *OPAQUE*! The base layer of the e-ink material contains lots of circuitry and really *can't* be replaced with an electroluminescent panel. Sorry, but you'll just have to live with the bug light or the LightWedge along with the rest of us.
